Great Tool

YachtWave is now part of “boat life”!
I carry my iPad now to every visit to my supply chain in maintenance and upgrades for our cruiser yacht. It is very helpful to have all my records and equipment all documented and receipts all with me. Managing maintenance schedules and tasks is a breeze now and if I miss a deadline for a task or maintenance schedule I get a friendly poke in my email from the app! Technical service help has been phenomenal when needed, which is not often at all because it is so easy and user friendly to use! MV Marguerite Rose is a better yacht because of YachtWave and I am a better Captain!
Try it it’s free! I am not affiliated with YachtWave at all I am just a very happy user and glad I found this App!

Great app….but one SUPER annoying feature

Love the app. Lot of potential. Using it for maintenance records but also various checklists, such as departure.

One very NEGATIVE feature/bug: if the app requires an update, but we are leaving anchorage in the middle of nowhere to avoid a storm, the app keeps asking for an update with every click of a button. Filling a checklist in these conditions is impossible. This is an irresponsible “feature” for a marine app that should stay lightweight and focus on the critical mission. I may start looking for other apps to do the checklists.

One minor bug with the checklist: if you assign tasks, you can’t see who fulfilled the task. You have to exit the checklist and get back into it to update. This defeats the purpose of distributed tasks.

Developer Response ,

UPDATED 12-11-2024 - The new update is now on the app stores. It snoozes the message for 3 hours so that it doesn't keep appearing. Thanks for the suggestion!

ORIGINAL RESPONSE: Hi Yaredna! You make a good point. I'll ensure the next update, "snoozes for 1 day," the alert instead of displaying the alert with each refresh. I can see how that can be annoying. Also, with the checklist (and all other items, notes, tasks, etc), you need to "pull down" on the list, and it refreshes the content so you will see updates in the data. So you don't need to leave and restart; it's just a simple refresh. I love hearing this kind of feedback; it helps me improve the app. Please feel free to email me directly: crew@yachtwave.com - Captain John

Boating Maintenance Records in one place

We’ve found the app to be a great tool to help keep up with service records, and to-do tasks. It’s great to have our information organized and have dates available on our mobile devices. Being able to set and schedule recurring maintenance items will be extremely useful. This is an easy app to load and simple to use. I did have a question about tasks. I emailed the help desk and had an immediate answer to my question. I hope future versions will provide an option to upload photos and store important documents and maintenance sales receipts. Thanks for a great app!
